THE WAY UL Like Uthivars arene tne
The way of the Presidential candidate
ig hard. Even Mrs. BeLva LOCKWoop is
now learning the truth of this text by
sad experience It is true that as yet the
political slanderer has been able to do her
put little harm. He began his nefarious
| work promptly after her nomination by
publishing the hideous falsehood that
her back hair was not her own
original hair. Several ministers (who
had, however, previously resolved to
vote for Mr. BLaINk) thereupon wrote.
letters saying that in order to pre-
serve the sanctity of the American Comb
they should be reluctantly compelled to
withhold their votes from a woman whose
hair was not sincere and truthful; and
the opposition journals generally took the
ground that no candidate whose back
hair was false could possibiy be worthy of
the Presidential office. Mrs. Lock Woop,
however, promptly proved that her back
hair was not only genuine but that it was
of exceptionaily fine quality, and her vin-
, dication was 80 complete that her loath-
OL CACO PLLVULGALULY ALS UUGLLUY » BA LCL Vabin
dication was so complete that her loath-
some libelers were effectually silenced. |
A little later it was chatged that Mrs. !
Locxwoop had, while acting as attorney |
in a case before a Justice of the Peace,
corruptly attempted to bribe the Justice
with caramels. The story was told in a
very plausible way, and even the very
flavor af the caramels was mentioned.
This libel, like the back _ hair libel,
enjoyed only a very brief existence.
Mrs. Lockwoop frankly admitted that |
at the time, and in the circumstances t
specified, she did offer ‘three chocolate f
caramels to a Justice before whom she §
had appeared as an attorney. She proved, :
however, beyond a shadow of doubt that :
the caramels in question were offered to §
and accepted by the Justice after the case §
in which she had appeared had been.tried f
and a verdict rendered against her.< The §
pretense that the caramels were given J

thrown, and since that time all attempts ?

and a verdict rendered against her.‘ The
pretense that the caramels were " given
-with intent to corrupt was thus over-
thrown, and since that time all attempts |
to show that Mrs. LocKwoop is tattooed
have been abandoned. |
There are, however, other things than
libelous accusations which can make a
Presidential candidate miserable, The
divided skirt question is now depriving
Mrs. Lockwoop of sleep. . As is well
known, many of the women who advo-
cate woman’s suffrage wear skirts of the
ordinary pattern, while others wear either |
divided skirts or trousers. If Mrs. Lock-
woop pledges herself to support the great
divided skirt reform she will receive the .
enthusiastic’ support of the divided skirt
| wearers, but she will lose the confidence
of the wearers of ordinary skirts, while
an opposite | but equally disastrous result
| will follow any act on her part which
openly identifies her with the ordinary
skirt party. For some days the woman’s |
suffrage women have anxiously waited
for Mrs. Lockwoop toe commit herself on
the divided skirt question, but as yet she
has refrained from so doing.
The position ofjthe candidate is cer-
tainly an embarrassing one. In the East,
where the ordinary skirt is worn, her ad-
vocates represent her as a determined
enemy of divided skirts, while in the
West, where the divided skirt is popular,
alleged photographs showing her in the
act of wearing a divided skirt are circu-
lated. Mrs. Lockwoop had’ seriously
thought of extricating herself from diffi-
culty by a sunstroke, but her friends con-
vinced her that to do any good a sun-
stroke would have to last until election
day, and that in such case a large number
of women would refuse to sitpport a can- .
didate who had been. dangero ly ill for |
two months.
In these circumstances Mrs. Lock woop |
is said to be writing a lettec in which she |
takes the ground that the divided skirt is |
a local issue and that by no act of hers
shall it be dragged into the field of nation, ,/
al politics. ‘‘ The skirt;” remarks Mre. |

plain her reluctance either to adyocate or
Pen oot the divided skirt, and will re- |
‘move one of the worst voxations « of the
ett isa painfol duty to inform Mrs. Locr-
/woop that she is mistaken. The divided
skirt is not 8 local issue. In the opinion
‘of its advocates the divided skirt presents |
- an issue of paramount national importance,
and they. j indignant at the fair can-|
didate’s attempt to belittle-it. They will !
believe that she is either opposed to the |
divided skirt or that she is willing to sac- :
| rifice it for the sake of the political sup-
port of its opponents. The latter will ace
cuse her of cowardice in refraining from i
denouncing the divided skirt, and. will ber
lieve that she is seoretly,in favor of it.”
Thus she will succeed in displeasing both
factions and in pleasing nobody. : :
Mrs. Lockwoop cannot command suc- :
cess by trickery. She did not descend to
trickery when the genuineness of her bac 2
hair was called in question or when the |
caramel libel was published. ‘Eet her be
as honest and courageous now as she was

ciple espouse lose & :

an opposite but equally disastrous result
will follow any act on her part which
openly identifies her with the ordinary
skirt party. For some days the woman’s
suffrage women have anxiously waited
for Mrs. Lockwoop to commit herself on
the divided skirt question, but as yet she
has refrained from so doin
The position ofthe candidate is cer-
tainly an embarrasging one. In the East,
where the ordinary skirt is worn, her ad-
vocates represent her as a determined
enemy of divided skirts, while in the
West, where the divided skirt is popular,
alleged photographs showing her in the

and hence it is only a local issue. Noth-—

not right. Now the supreme moment has ar-
rived for them to show their fairness, generosity,
“galantry.” Kmpires and Monarchies have been
ruled by women. Is it not tair to test their power
in Republics?) Women have ascended thrones
that have been pedestals of licentious debauch-
ery and bloodshed and turned them into shrines
of purity and peace. Would it net be generous
and just, after withholding the elective power
from woman for more than a century, to muke
the amende honuruble by bestowing upon her
the best gift of the Nation? Would it not be a
noble act worthy of the men of to-day to cut
loose from all the rust-corroded entanglements
and thick-set hedges which surround the exelu-
sively masculine political tields, and step out in-

Belva A. Lockwood will bring no blush or bar-

larged, co-operative household, a co-operative
home. Women make the best house-keepers, the
best home-makers and the best rulers, as history
has shown. ‘Therefore, we say to every voter:
Come, “let us reason together.” Cast your votes

country can not be better used than in clothing

earlier in the campaign, so that all the other candi-
dates might have had the benefit of perusing it and
framing their several epistles in accord with its pith
and candor.—Evening Stur, Wash., D. C., Sept. 4-84.
After puplisbing the Equal-Rights “official letter”
and its nominee’s “letter of acceptance” in full, the
National Republican says,” Mrs. Lockwood lives at
619 F street, in a neighborhood where business
houses and professional offices are struggling with
the old residents for possession. A reporter of Tun
RepvusBuican, anxious to discover whether Mrs. Lock-
wood was fully nerved to endure the inevitable flood
of scandal and calumny which follows a nomination
for the presidency, called at her residence last even-
ing. He was informed that the candidate had gone,
in a auiet way, without pomp or especial ceremony,
to call upon friends on Capitol hill.
Mrs. Lockwood was found this morning by a Star
reporter seated in her office, with eHents about her
and showing no signs that the presidential lightning
had struck her.’ After receiving the congratulation
of her visitor, "gg: which a candidate for
President should exhibft, she remarked that she had
no idea of this nomination until the letter arrived
from Marietta Li. Stow, the presideut of the associa-
tion, and editor of Women’s Herald of Industry,
anugunced that fact.

An Acr or Fouuy.-—If it is true that Mrs. Belva |
A. Lockwood, the well-known Washington lawyer,
has been tendered and has accepted the nomination
for President of the United States through the Wom-
an’s Rights party of California, the action will be re-
gr etted by all advocates of equal rights wherever
found. It can only result in making her and her sup-
porters ridiculous. As candidate of a disfranchised
party, she will serve us an ilnstration for the argu-
ments of those who oppose the enfranchisement of
women on the ground that they seek the ballot as the
means to gratify personal ambition for political dis-
tinction.— Vastra, in New Nortiuweest, Sept. 11-84.
Mrs. Locxwoop is no dog in the manger. She
has no husband or sons to hedge her about. She is
emancipated from the ghoul, Public Opinion. She
and her standard bearer cBinbed Capitol Hill togeth-
er and faced the bearded Hons tn their marble strong-
hold. After suen daring will they be afraid to seale
the mountain (Is ita mounlen? Tt riay he ouly a
niolehill) top of Prejndiee and unfurl the banner of
the rrice, ip fall view of the remonstrants beneath.
“Ridicule!” As tho every innovation, and innova-
tor, since Adam was in swaddling clothes, hadut
been “ridiculed.” Perhaps if Mrs. Duniway had been
‘on then?” asked the reporter.
Mrs. Lockwood laughed merrily at this supposi-
ion, and assured the reporter that she had not.
“Will this nomination receive the support of the
women suffragists?” continued the reporter.
“Certainly not,” was the emphatic reply. “You
must remember that the women are divided up into
as many factions and parties as the men. There is
the Women’s Christian Temperance union, Under
the leadership of Miss Frances WillarJ; there are the
suffragists, headed by Mrs. Stantou and Miss Antho-
ny, and there is the American party, controlled by
Mrs. Livermore and Mrs. Blackwell. Now, the po-
litical situation is just this: Miss Willard united the
temperance women with the prohibition party at
Pittsburg, and had a plank inserted to catch the suf-
fragists; but the latter, finding that they were going
to play second fiddle to the temperanc @ people, ¢ eame
out for Blaine and Logan. The American party lave
also endorsed the repubbean candidates. Now
thoneht that women who believed in women’s rights
and temperance ought not to hang on to the skirts
of the republican party any longer, and | expressed
these sentiments in a letter wluich was published re-
cently in several of the papers for women. This nom-
ination is the result of the expression of those
sontiments.” ‘Phe Eqnal-Rights party believes in the
equality of women with men in all things. If is a
“nominated” by a party instead of py an individual
she would have “accepted.”

-WOMEN RULERS.
‘BELVA A. LOCKWOOD.
For the Herald. :
The August Number of W. H. of I.
is before me. It has so much of the
true earnest ring of justice and right
in it, without fear or favor, that I am
sure that it must do good wherever it
goes.
Why not nominate women for im-
portant places? Is not Victoria Em-
-press of India? Have we not among
our country women persons of as much
talent and ability? Is not history full
of precedents of women rulers? The
appointment of Phoebe Cousins as
Assistant Marshal of St. Louis is a
keeping with her education and pro-P
fession,—is suitable, legal work, and}
will have a softening and retining in-
flnenee on the eviminal elasses of tha
City.of St. Louis, and the attaches of
the Court. There should be more ap-
pointments of the same sort.
If, women in the States are not per-
mitted to vote, there is no law against
their being voted for, and if elected,
ailing the highest office in the gift of
the people.
Two of the present political parties
which have candidates in the field be-
lieve in woman suffrage. It would
have been well had some of the candi-
dates been women. There is no use
in attempting to avoid the inevitable.
The Republican party claiming to
be the party of progress, has little else
but insult for women, when they ap-
pear before its “Conventions” and ask
for recognition. Note for instance the
Resolution on Woman Suffrage pre-
sented to their Convention on the 5th
of June. It is quite time that we had
our OWN PARTY; OU OWN PLATFORM,
and owt own, Nominees. We shall
never have rights until we take them,
nor respect until we command it. Act
up to your convictions of justice and
right, and you cannot go far wrong.
Your articles on dress reform should
“be read by every professional woman
and every laboring woman in the land.
The dress of the women of this gon-
eration holds them in chains. To
break away from it requires more
moral courage than for a soldier to
face the bullets of the enemy. What
our women want is enfranchisement,
~—freedom from dependence. The
ability and the will to earn their own
living without fear or favor.
Reforms are slow, but they never ga
backwards. Their originators may die,
but the reform will live to bless mill-
‘ions yet unborn. Your reform looks
to the welfare,the healthfulness, the
purity of the coming generation. Suc-
cess to your efforts!

LOCKWOOD AND LOZIER.
BELVA A. LOCKWOOD.
Belva A. Lockwood was born in the
Enpire State in 1830, and at the age
of fourteen commenced teaching the
village school. At eighteen she was
a bride, marrying Uriah H, MeNall.
After several happy years she was left
a widow in 1853, with one daughter,
Lura, who has since become famous in
literature as Lura W. Ormes. The war
and its underlying causes engaged
Mrs. McNall’s earnest sympathies. Her
time and influence were spent in aid-
ing. the soldiers. After the strife had
terminated, she resumed teaching un-
til 1868, when she was married to the
late Dr. E. Lockwood. After her mar-
riage she still industriously pursued
her studies, and in 1870 obtained the
degree of A. M. from Syracuse Uni-
versity. Having been refused admis-
sion to study law at Columbia College,
Washington, she entered the National
University of the same city, and, after
much difficulty, obtained her hard-won
diploma. September 23-73, she was ad-
mitted to practice at the bar of the Dis-
trict of Columbia.
Among some of her well known ef-
forts are the presentation to Congress
of a petition for the passage of a pro-
hibitory law for the District of Colum-
bia, signed by one thonsand persons.
She supported a measure which gave
women employed in public service the
same compensation as men. She, with
others, signed a memorial which was
presented to Congress, in which a dec-
laration is made that woman is enti-
tled to the ballot. She presented,
through Benjamin F. Butler, a peti-
tion signed by thirty-five thousand
people, demanding suffrage for her
sux. Shepeadeved valuable assisiaice
to Mrs. J. W. Stow, in her efforts, be-
fore Congressional Committees, to ex-
ecute an amendment to the Probate
Law system, in regard to the rights of
widows and orphans. These are buta
few of her many efforts in behalf of
woman. She has thus labored for the
elevation of woman in every way,
shape and form; nor have her labors
been confined to one section. Notwith-
standing this gigantie work, she has
been able to win a notable success in
crowning triumph of her life, after
years of unsurpassed effort, was on the
third of September, 1879, when, on mo
Supreme Court of the United States.
Her speech on this question before the
Judiciary Committee of tha House was
convincing and powerful, carrying the
Committee with her by the force of
that eloquence which is born of right.
She has not only identified herself
with womaw’s rights, but with temper-
ance, peace and other great moral
movements of theage. She has shown
an energy never before surpassed; a
calniness in defeat worthy of a hero; a
moderation In victory indieaiive of
true greatness. Her private life is
above reproach; her public career
pure, upright and successful, and she
has elevated the tune of the profession
by her womanly rectitude. The eon-
fidence reposed in her has secured an
extensive and lucrative practice. Then
all honor to this heroic woman.
Mrs. Lockwood has long been iden-
titied with the peace movement in con-
nection with the Universal Peace Un-
ion and the Arbitration League, being
a prominent worker in both organiza-
tions. Her services in securing inter-
views with the President, heads of
departments and Committees of Con-
gress on Foreign Affairs, which show-
ed her influence in Washington, have
renderen important service to the
cause.-—M. G. Winsrocx in The Peace-

Clemance 8. Lozier, M. D. was born
in Plainfield N. J. In 1849 she at-
tended her first course of lectures at
the Central New York College, and
graduated at ahe Syracuse Kelectic
College in 1853, having previously ap-
plied for admission to several other in-
stitutions, and been refused on the
ground that no female student could
be received. She visited Europe in
1867, where every facility was afforded
her for the inspection of hospitals; and
eminent men received her, and intro-
duced her to their associates with most
gratifying courtesy. In 1863, by her
untiring efforts, aided and abetted by
Dr. Lydia F. Fowler, and her hus-
band, L. N. Fowler, with that of Char-
lotte Fowler Wells, the Woman’s Med-
ical college was established in New
York City. This College, of which Dr.
Lozier is Dean and President of the
Faculty, has sent forth hundreds of di-
ploma-panoplied women to bless and
be blessed. The doctor has built upa
large and lucrative practice in the Em-
pire City, and entertains in her beau-
tiful and artistic home like a princess.
She is President of the New York Suf-
frage Society, which meets monthly in
her ample parlors, and has done more,
in her quiet lady-like way, to blend
and fuse all the various elements
which go to make up a strong society
than any other woman in the State.
In nominating Dr. Lozier for Vice-

that it has made a wise and just choice.

my reasons.

ily and his business. Then, in order
to vote intelligently, he would have to
waste some time in reading, when he
might otherwise be attending a cock
fight, or playing poker.
Secondly: Polities corrupt men;
therefore, they should not be allowed
to vote.
Thirdly: They have had the elective
franchise a long time, and still intem-
perance and licentiousness prevail,
therefore, they should be disfranchis-
Pe ourthly: it creates family discord,
for a wife once refused to sew on her
pusband’s shirt buttons, because he
voted the Republican ticket, while she
*was a Demorcrat.
Fifthly: it engenders neighborhood
quarrels, for a man once refused to
vote for another man’s brother,and it
produced a coolness between the two
families.
Sixthly: Very few men in some dis-
tricts attend school meetings to vote
for school officers, which proves that
mendo not wand to vote, therefore, the
whole sex should be disfranchised.
Dhad been somewhat doubtful as to
estimable right of self government,
the right to a voice in choosing their
rulers, a right, without which, Dr.
Franklin said, “a man is a slave,” till
I saw that they were the identical ones
used by the big-brained, sagacious,
statesmen of Massachusetts against
woman suffrage; then I knew that they
must be entirely logical and conelu-
sive. The most of the aforesaid rea-
sons were taken from a letter descri-
bing the effect of woman suffrage ina
remote precinct in Wyoming Terr’y,
which letter was read in the legislature
of Mass. as an “awful warning” against
woman suffrage. The Hon. members,
at once, saw the cogency of such pro-
ately voted down Woman Suffrage,

The cunning of ther miscregnta who have

Lockwoop, They tel] the story professed-
ly in her interest and assert, with much
| apparent warmth of feeling, that she pre- |
sents a wonderfully fascinating appear-
ance when mounted on her tricycle. Of |
course; their object is to excite against
her the hostility of leading advocates of
| woman’s rights who never ride on. tri-
cycles and who regatd the tricycle as un- |
worthy 6f an earnest woman. It is sup-
posed that Mrs. ANTHONY will denounce
Mrs. LocKWOOD asa giddy girl as soon as
she reads the tricyeld‘story, and that Mrs.
LILLIE DEVEREUX LAKE will insist that
_n¢ woman who hesitates to ride a bioyele,
ahd whe panders to prejudice by using a

friends of the emancipation of. woman.
There can be but little doubt that the

duated in 1857. Her busband died of con-
mption aftera long illness, and then, for 10

Mrs. Belva Ann Lockwood, the candidate of

etition asking that the votes cast for her in New-
Tork, New-Hamopshbire, Indiana, lowa. Miohigan, Tit

the Electoral vote of Indiana be given to her. 8he
charges that the votes cast for her were *gounted for

and subversive of every principle of equity

CRIMINALS IN LUCK.
In the Passaio County Courts, at Pater-
sO yesterday, the trouble between the court
an& the Prosecutor was settled in avery simplo
wat. The court had set down peremptorily for
t@ all the indictments left over from the last
term. The Prosecutor moved one, which was
disposed of. He declined to move the others,
and the court ordered them over to the next
term, when the defendants will be entitled to
discharge asatmatter of course. Among thein-
dictmente thus virtually dismissed because of
the Prosecutor's failure to move was ons
inet John R. Asb, of Paterson, and Mrs.
ary F. Heinisch, of Newark, for libel, in pub-
licly asserting that the Rev. George Guirey, of
the Willis-Street Baptist Church, had been guilty
of indecent bebavior toward the latter, The
Prosecutor stated that Mr. Guirey did not wish
this indictment tried untfl the case pending in
the Baptist Council should be disposed of. As
the Council decided not to move until the orlm-
inal indictment had been tried, this looks as if
Mr. Guirey's case will not be settled soon.. There
was much epeculation among the lawyers as to
whether the court or the Prosecutor would comé
out ahead in their quarrel. It looks now as if
the criminals had come out shead,

“BELVA? \
Tue Lapy CANDIDATE ror rus AMERICAN Presmmreécy, \
Aono the disappointed candidates for the Presidency of the Le.ted States, \
chivalry teaches us to extend our sympathy to none with more heartiness than
to Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the Women’s Rights champion. The women of
Amucrica, as a general rule, are not backward in coming forward ; but, up to
the present, only one has been found with sufficient spirit to stand for the post
of Chief Magistrate of the Union. She is a very prominent character is
Belva—as she is familiarly styled throughout the country; her features are
known to all newspaper-readers from ocean to ocean, from the Lakes to the
Gulf, and her voice has been heard in many a court of Jaw and from many
a platform from end to end of the greatest republic in the world, The
chivalry of the American “newspaper-iman” is proverbial; but, alas for poor
Belva:! she is no longer young, although her smile is still fascinating
and her bright blue eyes have not lost all their brilliancy. The years,
however, have added to what may once have been a “full, soft, contralto” |
(to quote from a contemporary biographer), a harshness and stridency not |
altogether compatible with the tenderer chivalric sentiments. Perhaps, tco, |
ten years of dry legal argument before the Supreme Court of the United States |
has not been calculated to smooth out wrinkles or retain growing hair upon the
head. At any rate, despite the decidedly romantic nature of Mrs. Lockwood’s
history, it is more satirically than chivatrously that she is treated by newspapers
and newspaper people all over her native country.
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood was born in the town of Royalton, Niagara |
County, $tat@ of New York, about forty-five years ago. She has had obstacles |
ning of her career, Left 2 widow at an eauy |
40 outuivdui, Wom the beg

Court of the United States. Since that time, now nearly ten years ago, she
has been fairly successful. Her opinions on all subjects are forn after
clear and minute examination; and one has only to look at the firm: mocth,
the square chin, the straight nose and somewhat hard brow, to feel ix
vinced that nothing less strong than a blizzard, a cyclone, or an ea
would be powerful enough to convert Belva Lockwood. There is noi
tinctly masculine about her. She does not wear the Bloomer costume
ton’s splendid pavements with all the nonchalance of a professional. Some oF
her views are interesting. 2

“ Our agitation,” she says, “is kept alive by men and women who, > aving
in the injustice of withholding the ballot from women, have lectured, puvished
essays, held conventions, and canvassed the country. These have been supple-
mented recently by the organization known as the Women’s Caristian Temperance
Union, now numbering about 250,090 women, who were combined together a
first solely for the suppression of the liquor traffic, but who have since branche
out into many other reforms. They found moral suasion a very tedious procesgs
whereby to contro! this very extensive traffic, and soon commenced to ask fol
legislation upon it, but found directly that legislation was controlled by ballots, |
So almost with one accord they pronounced for woman suffrage. That is the
history in brief of the party which nominated me four years ago, and again this
year, as candidate for the presidency. ,
“Now [ shouid have some difficulty in comparing the progress of the,
movement in America with that in England, because I am not well enough
informed of the English side of the question; but Iam of opinion that. on‘
account of immemorial custom, often more potent than law, the American
woman enjoys many more privileges than her English sister. We have no sharply
defined castes or classes. Ifa young woman has attained her majority, she may
go where she pleases, for business or pleasure, without an escort and without
questioning. She may enter into business, teach, preach, practice law or
medicine, buy and sell stocks, enter the dry goods or real estate business, with-
out losing her womanly attributes or her position in society. She not only may
do, but is e:.pected to do, anything honest and honourable to maintain herself
and, if necessary. her family.
“The oppoxents to our movement are principally found in a class of men
who still cling to the old ideas, developed in the days of chivalry—that
voman is an ideal creature, a sort of petted doll, or simply a house:
hold drudge with her sphere bounded by the house which shelters her.
Others are women reared in the lap of luxury, who have never known 2
want or a reverse of fortune, who believe that men were created to wait
upon them, support and caress them, and who are without any solid ahold
ments, but possess only superficial accomplishments and the glamour thrown abou
them by their position in society. Nevertheless [ believe that our movement
is bound to succeed in time, because the sentiment is a rapidly growing ons
and the causes which produce it every day increasing. Besides, aristocratically
inclined women are becoming ashamed of their idle and useless lives. _Womer
gre finding out that they need the ballot for their protection; and, after all,
equality o! rights and privileges is but simple justice.”
As though to add a clincher to her statement that the “good cause” is
on the increase in the United-States, Belva gives a list of a hundred women
lawyers, fifty women ministers of various religious denominations, and nearly a
thousand medical women, and she regrets that she is totally unable to
enumerate the women engaged in literary and journalistic pursuits. It would
seem, therefore, from Belva’s computation that the men of America will shordy
have to look to their laurels. Perhaps it was with a view to counteract possibie
evils that a Schoo! of Cookery for Boys was recently started in Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania.

Exponent of the Ameri-
can Ideal.
. : nt
|The Federal Suffrage Association of the.
United States will petition the Pepublican
national convention, which meets in Chi--
cagu next Tuesday, to insert in the re--
publican platform a plank declaring that
“women citizens should be given the priv-*
flege of voting for federal electors wHer-
ever they are willing to qualify and reg-
ister: .
the convention follows: :
“The undersigned, representing the Fed-
erni Suffrage Association of the United
States, respectfully request you to place
in your platform a resolution recognizing
the right of women to the elective fran-
ehise, at least so far as relates to the
choice of federal officers.
Spirit of Constitution.
“We belive that the spirit, if. net the
language, of the Constitution of the
United States ‘requires that the federal
officers, particularly the members ef the-
4 House of Representatives, should be elect-
et by the ‘people,’ and we believe that
won.en are people and ag such are entitled
to a voice in those elections. This seems
to- have -been the opinion of the tramers
of the Constitution: Madison, Jeffergon.
and even Hamilton insisted that the lower
house should be made to represent the
voting In séme parts of the United States
and no exception was made, {t seems
evident that the framers intended to in-
clude women among the ‘people’ who
were to elect the members of the House
of Representatives. We simply ask a
return to the ideas of the founders of the
republic. We look to the republican party:
as the great exponent of the American
ideal, as the party of progress, having
in charge the highest imterests of human-
ity, and ‘looking forward to the civiliza-
tion of the world, and as such we ask
the convention to put itself on record as
in favor of justice and equal rights for
the women of this nation.” Lo

heavy responsibility, and there is no
greater one than the use of the fran-

-and gain experience beforehand for
it, or else he is gertain to meet dis-
aster and discredit.
Woman can only: gain experience
in government by the actual
ence of government. She

experience as the:plaything of shrewd,

gains the franchise, or by a course of
preparation for it in advance of the
franchise.
Organized, with ample revenues.

creation and administration of a

she manifests in the courtroom. She does not attempt
to. bully opposing witnesses or abuse the attorriey on
the other side. Her uniform politeness is ‘in: pleasant
contrast to the wrangling and bitter disputes which
the magistrates have to use all their power to quell.
It was her husband’s failing. sight that caused |
Mrs, Mayer to take up the law, as. he believed she .
might be able to assist him'in the preparation of his:

attracted her at the start because it was easier and: re-

“Besides, you are more sure of being paid for your

he possibly can to avoid being locked up.”

United States Supreme Court and.

Having decided views on all national

She predicts that Colonel Roosevelt,

diplomatic mistake which she says Mr. |
United States, did in the Eternal City,
which led to the Pope's refusal to receiv :
him at the Vatican. People in this o :

history of the Methodist Church in Rome. |.
The Methodists, she says, followed the |:
revolutionists whom Garibaldi led into |:
Rome, the seat of the Pope’s temporal |:

the other hand, were opposed to the revo-

Fairbanks, former Vice-President of the!’
“The Methodist was the only Protestant
sect which opened a church in Rome im-
imediately after Rome was occupied by,
|Gartbaldl's soldiers,’’ she said, “and from
}that. time to the present it has. been -con-
tinually antagonistic to the Vatican, They
attacked the Cathalic church and have
‘never been friendly.to it and the Catholics
rhave never been friendly to the Metho-
dists. I don’t suppose Mr. Fairbanks
‘knew anything about this when he con-
sented to address the Methodist College
tin Rome and which led te the Pope’s re-
jfusal to receive him at the Vatican. The
{Methodist church is, there to proselytize.
There are a great many very poor people
‘in Italy and the Catholics charge that
‘these are bribed by being helped to live.
;But the same antagonistic feeling does not
(exist In Rome between the Catholics and
| Baptists or Presbyterians, or any other of |
the Protestant sects.
“YOUNG” ALTHOUGH BIGHTY.
“I know Fairbanks personally. He’s a
nice fellow—but he made a diplomatic
mistake which Mr. Taft avoided when he
‘went to Rome regarding the Phillippines
‘and was cordially received at the Vati-
loan.”
| Mrs. Lockwood is especially familiar
with the Roman situation, as she has
imade a study of the subject and ts the

iGeneral Turr, who is a native Austrian, |
'was president of the Sixth International

[perpetual youth, She looked even younger
‘than when last here. She has the espirit.
‘of a girl; her eyes are lustrous, her com-

| Mrs. Lockwood was born in Royalton,
}.Niagara, County, N. Y., on October 2,
4830. Her first marriage occurred when
she was eighteen years old, and when
her husband died, in 1853, she became a
prominent educator, being & professor of
Snigher mathematics, logic, rhetoric, and
‘potany. She came to this elty at the
Aclose of the civil war and began the
Vetuay of law. She graduated in 1873 from
tthe National University Law School,
dhaving in the meantime married Rev.
4 Ezekiel, Lockwood, a Baptist minister,
Vwho died in 1877. On September 23, 1873.
Tphe was admitted to the bar of the
Bupreme Court of the District, and at
Yonce entered upon the active practice of
cher profession. :
4 In 18% she applied for admission to the |
Court of Claims, but was refused on the |.
}pround that she was a woman and that!
‘She was a married woman. The contest
was ‘a bitter one, but short, sharp, and
ecisive. In 1876 Mrs. Lockwood's ad-
fSupreme Court was moved, but was re-
reused on the ground that ‘there were no
nglish precedents for the admission of
jomen to the bar.” >
Secured Act of Congress.
It was in vain that she logically plead-
that Queens Eleanor and Elizabeth
aa both been supreme chancellors of
he realm, and that: at thé assizes of
ppleby, Ann, Countess of Pembroke, sat
{th the Judges on the bench. Nothing
qunted, she drafted. a bill admitting
‘omen to the bar. of the Supreme Court,
eoured its introduction in both Houses
of Congress, and after three years’ ef-
‘ort aroused enough influence and public
sentiment to secure its passage in Janu-
tary, 1879. On March 8 of that year Mrs.
‘} Lockwood was admitted to the bar of
‘ithe world on whom ,the honor was con-,
|} ferred. i
i Mrs. Lockwood has made severa! trips
abroad as a representative to peace con-
iterences, and upon one occasion in Paris
fyead an able paper in French upon inter-
jmational arbitration. She was also in-
estrumental forty years ago in securing
the enactment of a law giving women in

jiowed to appear before a jury. Such a

only resort for an immediate release.

what their platform promised women
oO deserve my support or the support of

“Directly after the letter was publish-

a letter telling all the proceedings of

MRS. BELVA LOCKWOOD JUBILANT.
OVER VICTORY OF SUFFRAGISTS
*
Only Woman Candidate for the
Presidency in History Glori-
- fies’ in Advancement Made
~ by Sex in Public Affairs in
America. _
In the great jubilation among woman
suffragists over the victories their cause
won Tuesday, when Michigan, Kansas,
Ariozna, and Oregon enfranchi8ed wom-
en, there is probably no more complacent
person among the advocates of votes for
women than the woman who started the
agitation for woman’s rights in the Unit~ }
ed States—Mrs. Belva Lockwood, attorney
at law, 619 F Street Northwest.
Mrs. Lockwood, who a few days aga
celebrated her eighty-second birthday, is
rather generous to be complacement and
not say, “I told you so,”’ for she has a
better right to use that popular expres-
sion than a billion other persons who use
it every day. In the fifty-eight years that
have passed since Mra. Lockwood began
to fight for woman's rights, the scoffing
and jearing to which she was subjected
have given way to-the.acclalm.of.millions
of people; the opinions for which she was
derided have become the opinions, yea,
-the very faith not only of women who
thankfully praise this sprightly octoge-
narian for what she has done for them,
put also of men who bravely declare their
gratitude to this woman who helped to
lead them to see what they now believe
is right.
Start of Movement.
The suffrage movement started nearly
sixty years ago when Belva Anna Ben-
nett, now Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, com-
plained to a school board at Royalton,
N. Y¥., that she wag not treated right in
being paid only $3 a week for teaching 2
country school when men who did the
same work got $6 a week.
Forty years later shé was a candidate
for the Presidency om a platform de-
manding equal rights for men and wom-
en, Mrs. Lockwood got the electoral vote
cf Indiana, halg the electroal vote of
Oregon, came near carrying New Hamp-
shire, and made a creditable run in New
York. : :
Her message to the country is:
“Cee the hallot ta the women and the

“Tn order to get my bill passed I went
to New York City, where the two wom-

the national, were holding annual con-

for its passage. I went to both parties.
The American was presided over by
Lucy Stone, of Massachusetts, and ihe
national by Ffenry Ward Beecher, of
New York. Susan B. Anthony and Tliz-

figures in the national, Lucy stone

had two daughters, but both are dead.
She has a grandson about twenty-one
years of age, De Forest Ormes, who lives

ment of women, from which the Turks

tions are only just now emerging. Ori-
ental women shave just now begun to
throw off-the thralidom that has dwarf-
ed their minds and their bodleg.
‘Way back in the days when first I
began to ‘kick,’ women had to card, spin,
weave, knit, milk, and do other work
that is largely done by machinery now~
adays. Women of to-day have more
leisure than their mothers had.
“IT had to begin work early. At the

$12 to $15 per month, male teachers got
from $25 to $30 for the same work. I
taught until I was eighteen, when I
became the wife of Uriah H. McNall, a
young farmer and saw miller. Four

me a widow with one child. T took up

me that I was one of the best paid
women teachers in the State.
“My salary not being encouraging and
my health not robust, I gave up teach-
ing to seek more lucrative employment.
Law appealed to me. .
Real Fight of Life.
“The real fight of my life began after
'Y prepared myself to. practice law. My
sex kept me out of court for a long
time. I was told that women had iiot
been recognized in legal circles. I ap-
plied for admission to ‘the Court of
(Jaims, but was refused on the ground,
first, that I was a woman; and, second.
that 1 was a married woman. But 1
never stopped fighting. “My cause was
the cause of thousands of women. I
pushed forward when I could and re-
treated when I had to; but always re-
turned to the attack, ,’- oe
“When I was ready to take my law
examination there..was nobody to ex-
ages and promotes woman suffrage.
“I am intensely practical. Professional
suffragists talk too much and are not
always practical.
“We have made great progress. The
story of my hard and long fight for worn-
an’s rights—equal. rights—gives a fair
idea, of what women in this country have
had to do.
Besina Law Practice.

Society was well represented ‘at the |
hearing, as the widow had told the
police that a number of its members
had assisted Bell in his efforts to keep
her daughter and herself out of the
Washington smart set. Mrs, Belva
Lockwood, the only woman who ever
ran for the presidency, represented
Mrs. Gage. Mrs. Ellen M, Stone, the
woman captured = by Macedonian
brigands a few years ago, and Mrs.
Ledroit Burber, president of the Dis-
trict Woman's Suffrage Association,
both friends of Mrs. Gage, were in
court with her. Miss Margaret C.
Gage, the daughter of the woman
charged with threats to kill, was also
in court and brought with her letters
to prove that her mother was a useful
citizen and well thought of. One let-
ter accompanted a check for $100,
which the Laird of Skibo donated to
Mrs. Gage’s patriotic society.
Bell is president of the American
Security and Trust Company, one of
the city’s biggest financial institutions, |
a brother of Dr. Alexander Graham
Bell, and is a prominent churchman
and clubman. Jfe told _the jury of his
experiences with Mrs. Gage. She camo
to his office two years ago, he said,
and asked him “to refrain from trying
to keep my daughter and myself out
of society.”
“She burst into tears and cried for
nearly half an hour,” Bell continued.
“LT never had seen the woman before
and hardly knew what to say. I re-
mained in my office until she dried her
tears and then excused myself and
disappeared.”
He told of warnings given him by
friends who had heard that Mrs. Gage
had threatened to horsewhip him. “Tf
was simply annoyed at that time,” he
said, “but when I heard she was going
to kill me then I became alarmed.”
Mrs. Bell insisted that legal protection
be sought, he said, and finally he fol-
lowed her suggestions. He denied that
he ever had tried to keep Mrs.
or her daughter out of society or out
of church, or'that he ever directly or
indirectly tried to gain possession of
her property, as she had charged,
“You are not really afraid of this
woman?” was asked. “I’m really
afraid of any woman who is insane,”
he replied.
Wer eyes red from weeping, Miss
Margaret Gage, the daughter, took the
Witness stand and said that Mrs.
Archibald Gracie, 2 prominent New
York and Washington society woman,
was the first to tell them that Bell
was responsible for their persecution.
Last December this information was
given, she testified,
‘at was hard for us to make friends
in Washington and we weré at’a loss
to know the reason, because We knew

Dear Friend:
A number of residents of Washington, and of

country.
You will agree with me that a tribute is
assuredly due this eminent woman, famous for her
courageous work during a long and useful life for
the advancement of womanhood and for the amelior-
ation of existing conditions in the factories and
workshops of our land. She has won a place with
the few who blazed the trail that other women

As it will be almost impossible to reach all
of the many friends of so prominent a character,

ceiving a copy of this letter talk the matter

CHICKEN RAISING IS SUGGESTED
“Get out into the country, you women,
who are trapped in the lower levels of
pusinesses, where you can never reach
the top. There is plenty of room in
{he country and fortunes to be made.
Yt ig the occupation in which you can
get rich and at the same time be work-
ing for the good of others.” This is
ithe advice that Mrs. Belva Lockwood,
yoted woman attorney and = suffragist,
has to give to .women whe want to
“ escape the vocation of school teaching
“and who are weary of the drudging city
life. .
“Tt ig your stern duty to save up
“your money and buy a farm,” insisted
Mrs. Lockwood. “We hear on every
corner of the decline of agriculture,
» threatening millions of people with star-
vation and a further increase in the
cost ‘of living, yet, within a few miles
sf Washington there are fertile acres
“dying vacant ‘and in the cities are thou-
sands of woimen toiling at professions
for which they are not fitted.”
. Mra. Lgqckwood claims that not only,
will the starving millions in the cities}
be benefited by this phitanthropical act
¢ women, but also the starving auto-
obilist will be benefited. Automobilists
often. find themselves confronted on
country roads with the perplexing prob-
lem of finding a place to obtain some-
thing to eat. The only hospitality found
on nost country roads is saloons.)
Women cannot go to these places and)
there is a great demand for the tea-|
room and the automobile inn all over
the country, according to Mrs. Lock-.
wood. :
“Ag soon as you have made up your:
mind to sacrifice the foys of city life, |
you find yourself much happier in the:
country than you ever were in the eity,.
flitting about from house to house,”” says)
Mrs. Lockwood. “A feeling of peace
and security comes to you as you gaze
about your little farm and say to your-
self, ‘This is my home, my own, and
here will I live. on through the years
‘til gray hairs crown me.’"’ :
Mrs. Lockwood has recently acquired
a, forty-acre farm in Wyoming, and it}
is her intention to spend about three |
months during each summer in cultivat- |
ing her land. To women in this vicinity |
Mrs. Lockwood thinks that chicken rais- |,
ing would be particularly profitable and !
a vocation that easily could be learned, |
She does not advocate heavy farming |
for the feminine sex, but such things
as the ralsine of strawberries, vegetables
and the like, which do, not require such
arduous labor. According to Mrs. Lock-
wood, more women are each year seeing
the adaptability of light farming to
women and that the farmera’ numbers
are being constanily increased by women,

_ When a child she was rather preco-
cious and always “wanted to know,”
being considered rather advanced for
one so young. She watched the swal-

thing to imitate them in flying, so she
began with the parachute idea, smug-
gled an umbrella to the roof on a
low ell of her home and prepared to
descend, which she did in short order
but quite unhurt. Undaunted, she
continued the study of soaring, but
without further efforts to demonstrate.
It was no surprise to her friends or to
residents of the Capital City that she
accepted the invitation to fly in an
-| aeroplane at Cottage Park, two years
ago.

Secretary of State Bryan’s “dry din-

tional episode, with the coming of the
comments of the London press which
have been wired to this country. Not

Congresaman Bartholdt of Missouri is
quoted as having sald that “the dollar
diplomacy of the Republican regime was
the target of criticiam, but the grape
juice diplomacy, I fear, will be much
x
less, effective, so far as our national
prestige is concerned.”
On the contrary, Mrs, Belva Lock-
wood, who has the distinction of being
the only woman who ever ran for the
Presidency, approves of the action of
the Secretary of State. She gays:
“Grape juice gayety is a safe and
sane gayety, and it doesn’t leave ‘a

gay under the Wilson Administration. |
The world will be gay under Bryan's
regime, and we should worry about

yourself, for it is the way of the
world.”
; Half a Century of Battling.
The then apparent hopelesaness of
Woman's Cause so aroused her that she
fought for more than fifty years against
the exclusion of women from rights
whitch mon enjoyed, She fortified her-
self with a collegiate education at Cen-
essee College In the days when higher
educitifon was rare Mone women, and
for sucensslve pertods was preceptredy
of seminaries at Lockport, Gatnsville
and Oswepo, N.Y.
-In each place she was a lender among
women's gocictics, and when at the
close of the civil war she removed to
Washington she was determined to be-
come a hiwyer and win a Plice before
the bar. In the nieantime she married
again, to Rev. dizekiel Lockwood, a
Maptist clergyman tn Washington, who
died nine years later, In L877. Her first
husband had been Uriah EH. McNall, a
young farmer in Royalton.
Soon after her second miurrlage she
began study at. the National Cniversity
of Law, and upon gradwantion, after
spirited controversy, wis ndmitted to prac-
tice before the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbii.
“E never stopped lighting,” she said. “My
cause was the cause of thousands of wom-
en, T drew up a bill admitting women to
practice at the bar of the United States
Supreme Court, and T had it passed.”
This victory made her widaly acclaimed.
She herself wos the first woman to take
advantage of the new Liw, and at the age
of forty-nine was udmitted to the highest
court In the lind.
She won several notable legal battles, in-
eluding the case of the Eastern Cherakeas
agt. the United States, In: which she se-
cured a settlement of $5,000,060 for the
Indians.
During President Carflela’s administra-
tion she made an ubsuccesaful appltca-
tion for the Brazilan mission,
Nominated for Presidency.
The most striking incident of her
career then came, in 1884, with nom-
ination by the equal rights party of the
Pacific slope as a candidate for the
presidency of the United States, Vain
ae the action was it was a unique dis-
tinetion.: The nomination wis renewed
by the sane party ineeting in Iowa four
years later.
“When the notice of my first nomina-
tion came,” Mrs. Lockwood related, “J
did not know what to do with it. so J
stuck in In m- pocket, and kept ft a
secret for se cal days, until T WAS
asked to support Ben Butler for the
presidency, ‘lL can’t do it,” J answered,
‘tT have a nomination myself!" The
politician appeared skeptical, so sho
produced the document, under Pledge
of secrecy, but before night tt was in
the newspapers.
In 1889 she war a delegate of the Uni-
yersal Peace Union to the International
Peace Congress in Paris, and again in
1880 to the congress at London’ where
she presented papers on arbitration and
disarmament. Sha lectured throughout
the country, and until her last days

take part In the inaugural parade Mareb-
4 according to plans to be laid before
the executive board of the National Wo-
man Suffrage Association in Philadelphia
to-morrow.
Miss Florence Etheridge, president of
the District Woman Suffrage Associa~|
tlon, proposed that the suffrage hosts
gather in Washington for a demonstra-
tion on the day that a new President is.
sworn in. Miss Etheridge, acting on au;
thority of the District association, pro-
posed that the national organization take
part in the Inaugural parade itself or
told an individual parade.
Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the na-
tional association, and other leaders ex-"
pressed their approval when Miss Hther-
idge talked with them, and said they
would come to Washington to join in
the demonstration, which they believe
will be of great value to the woman
suffrage movement.
It is expected the board will decide to-
morrow whether to hold an individual
gural.
ita individual members could align them-
selves with any political party was, in
my opinion, the most important matter
before the convention,” Miss Etheridge
sald last night. “It was a vindication of
the right of the individual to her own
political opinions.”’
Mrs. Lockwood Home.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, a delegate from
ithe local Suffrage Association, returned
to Washington yesterday. ‘Tha mass
tan Opera Hotse, Philadelphia, she de-
clared last night to have been ‘wonder-
ful
ing in this country—in -the world,’ she
said. ‘‘Not a seat in the opera, ; house
was vacant. The people who were there:
were interested to hear of woman aut
frage.
“Outside, there were overflow. meetings |
and thousands of men and women, heard
speeches by women whom.our president,:
Dr, Anna Shaw, sent ont there, In the:
old country, they Say, ‘London js Eng-
land, Paris is France.’ If by.., the | me"
sylvania,’ we may say with safety. that
Pennsylvania is ours. For Philadelphia
certainly {s for woman suffrage. The
meeting Sunday afternoon showed that.”
Mrs. Lockwood stated that she did not
pbelleve the story that Mrs. 0..-H..P. Bel-
mont had indignantly bolted the conven-
tion because the convention had voted
that members might properly align them-
selves, as individuals, with political par-
ties. She thought this movement ad-
visable, and made a brief speech to that
effect on the floor of the convention.
“a gimilar incident led to my nomina-
tion for president In 1884," Mrs. . Lock-
wood reminisced. “Hizabeth Cady Stan-
ton and Suean B. Anthony? leaders in
woman suffrage at that time, advised
